Comments on SSH/SFTP Server - Terminal for Android
★★★★☆John Ford· Jul 7, 2023
As an ssh server, I found this very good. My complaint is that I find it difficult to find where Android stores files, making it difficult to use the server effectively.
★★★★☆Rubens Furbetta· Nov 29, 2025
Excellent app. The speed of its directory scanning and file transfers is amazing. It is a pity the app does not support root access so the clients would be able to see the entire file system structure.
★★★★★John Abreau· Feb 20, 2024
Works great. I use it to back up my Android phones by syncing to my laptop and NAS server.
★☆☆☆☆pro2stinger· Jun 2, 2023
Root doesn't work even though it was granted superuser rights, and when connecting to it, I get this error "Unable to negotiate with 127.0.0.1 port 2222: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa"
★☆☆☆☆Teea· May 27, 2025
Accepts connection but access to files denied. "Ls - permission denied"
★★☆☆☆Jason C· Jun 1, 2023
Can't add paths to users, the folder chooser UI doesn't work. Too bad because the server appears to work fine otherwise.
★☆☆☆☆LuminumLX· Feb 25, 2024
App is literally useless, whenever I connect via Win SCP, it ends the connection and gives me an error "error changing directory to '.'"
★☆☆☆☆Mindaugas· Mar 4, 2024
Garbage Doesn't support ed_25519 Even using rsa it doesn't work because I'll add pub key in the app and disable password authentication but still asks for password when connecting and the set password won't work
